What’s the oddest way you’ve ever seen a U-Haul moving truck used?
Maybe you’ve seen it transformed into a food truck or used as part of a prom-posal. However, have you ever seen a flying moving truck? Well U-Haul doesn’t have any of those, but it has managed to get moving trucks on rooftops and poles. U-Haul uses the trucks and trailers as advertisements for its full-service moving centers, where customers have always found those familiar U-Haul orange self-storage doors waiting to provide a secure room for their possessions.
Sometimes you need to go above and beyond to attract eyes and that’s exactly what U-Haul did decades ago when it decided to put trucks on roofs and poles. The goal here was simple: Get noticed! This was a marketing idea that you can still find incorporated at a handful of famous U-Haul locations. The hoisted trucks and trailers (some of which rotate!) … well, they have become city landmarks.
Check out this orange U-Haul equipment and the unlikely heights it has reached. A lot of these photos are vintage from a time when this marketing strategy was seen more frequently.
